Cut from Colen's mail from 1/8-2001:

I also have a question to the sisters list regarding the 'Brazier of holy fire':

It seems to me, that it is an error that if a character, say a Veteran sister or Missionary, takes the Brazier, he/she gets an additional attack.

Eg. a Missionary with a Bolter has 3 attacks on the profile. Giving him the brazier gives him a attack stat of 3/4. As I see it, he will not get the additional attack before he drops the bolter and takes somekind of single handed CC weapon/pistol.

Btw: wouldn't it be possible for a character to take two braziers? It is listet as a Single handed CC weapon in the codex, it is not uniqe and I don't see any rules forbidding you to take two of them, just like you could take two bolt pistols - which BTW also isn't possible in the AB files. (I know that neither would be the smartest thing to do - but it is legal and therefore it should be possible).

Yep. The Brazier was adding 0.5 attacks, not (as it should have been) 0.49
attacks.

It might not be legal, depending on how you interpret the word 'item' -
"You may not take duplicate items for the same model", says the rules.
Also, The effect of having (for example) 2 Bolt Pistols or 2 Braziers is
exactly the same as taking one Bolt Pistol / Brazier and a Close Combat
Weapon, and often cheaper.
